Hi all, Is there any way to rename models from the command line? I can do so using the model panel, but I have a script that generates a bunch of different models, and I would like to give them descriptive names apart from the model id in the script. Oliver.
Hi Oliver, Not exactly, at least with commands, but you may be able to accomplish essentially what you desire by using "alias" (string substitution into commands) and/or named selections. See <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/alias.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/namesel.html> I'm fond of aliases, which don't require you to go through selection. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Thanks Elaine - I use both of those commands frequently, but unfortunately in this case I actually do want to change the model name. I’m using a long alias with many molmap calls on different selections to generate and color low resolution blobs corresponding to each domain of my protein, and I would like to change the names of the output model as I do so so that I know that model #1.20 corresponds to “domain xyz” without switching it on and off in the model panel. Cheers, Oli.

You can change the name with "setattr m name new_name". --Eric On Mar 26, 2015, at 2:58 PM, Oliver Clarke <olibclarke@gmail.com> wrote:

Oops, that will change all models' names of course. Add "#1" to the end of that to change just model 1. --Eric On Mar 30, 2015, at 2:40 PM, Eric Pettersen <pett@cgl.ucsf.EDU> wrote:
